Hello! I've bought LG's MCS-H05EP travel adapter (like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-LG-MCS-H05ER-MCS-H05EP-1-8Amp-White-USB-Mains-Charging-Adapter-EU-/331938303153) which is sold with USB A to USB Type-C cable. On the adapter it is written 9V at 1.8A or 5V at 1.8A. The stock adapter goes for 5V at 3A which activates the rapid charging. So, I was quite surprised that the rapid charging also gets activated (and the device charges as fast as it does with the stock adapter) using the MCS-H05EP travel adapter. Here https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6102350?hl=en it is said that "The input voltage range between the wall outlet and this charger is AC 100V–240V, and the charger’s output voltage is DC 5V, 3A." So, I'm kinda concerned whether the [email protected] output from the custom adapter could damage the battery.
What you think, guys?
afaik, the 5x cannot accept 9v as it can only accept maximum of 5v?
Maybe the adapter is also capable of [email protected] (15W even less that 16,2W when its [email protected]), but they did not write it on the adapter for some reason
Pretty sure you'll only get the 5V and 1.8A with the type A to C cable since the 5X can't handle the 16.2 watts (9V x 1.8A).

It'll say charging rapidly, but my experience is it will say that if it is charging 1.6A at 5V. If you are in the range of 40% to 80% battery it will seem similar to the 1.8A that stock charger will charge at.
However if you are on the 0-40% battery range, stock charger will charge at 2.6A and your charger will likely still be at 1.6A. You'll notice a bigger difference in that range.
This is all at 5V. 5x doesn't do 9V.

If you want to say "wrong" then you should post 0-100% charge times using original charger then post 0-100% using your new charger. Preferably you should post the log file of charging rates for both tests.
The actual test you want to perform is 0-40% using original charger, then 0-40% using the new charger. This will have the most noticeable difference between "Charging rapidly" on the original charger on "Charging rapidly" on the USB A to C charger.
In this battery range, original USB C charger will do 2.6A (around 24min to charge 0-40%)
Your new USB A to USB C charger will do around 1.6A (around 40min to charge 0-40%)
From 40%-80% original will do around 1.8A (around 36min to charge 40-80%)
Your new USB A to USB C charger will do around 1.6A (around 40min to charge 40-80%)
From 80-100% they both charge around the same rate.
So we are talking around 20min difference from 0-100% but 16min of that difference happens from 0-40%. Many people would consider this "fast enough", especially since "not" "Charging rapidly" means you are charging at .5A which is roughly 1/3 the rate (3x longer than USB A to C "Charging rapidly" in the 40-80% range)
"Charging rapidly" using USB A to C is obviously "faster" than not "Charging rapidly", however it isn't as fast as "Charging rapidly" using the original charger, especially in the 0-40% range, but less so in the 40-80% range.
Since you are saying I am "wrong" you should post your log files of the charging rates for the original charger and your USB A to C charger.
You can see the charge log rates from 50-90% I posted here for reference (those were performed using two 5x units with exact same software, charging side by side, both said charging rapidly, one was original and another was USB A to C):

That's not 5V/3A charging speed like the stock charger. I get 15% to 85-90% in 60 minutes. Pretty sure that's the 5V/1.8A charging speed I was guessing it to be. My Samsung 5V/2A charger paired with a Type A to Type C cable gets about the same percentage as what you got.

I got it, guys! And, @sfhub, I didn't mean any offence by saying "wrong", I just thought that you meant that the words "rapid charging" was not going to show up at all in the range 0-40%, that it was going to be a slow charging just like from a PC usb port. So, anyway, now I'm sure that this charger won't do any harm to the phone. Thanks!

Hi,
I have noticed my phone charges much quicker via the USB on my PC. It takes about 2 hours to charge fully, while the wall charger takes 3-5 hours to charge like 40% or something.
The specifications for the wall charger are:
INPUT: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.2A
OUTPUT: 5.1V=== 850mA
I do'nt know what the specs for my USB port are? Can I check it in the BIOS? I have googled and found it's something around 5V 500mA, so technically my phone would charge slower...
This is how the wall charger looks like (you can unplug the USB-cable and use it on the PC since it's not a standard USB-mini connection).

Well the 500mA is the minimum spec for USB, basically they say its at least 500mA so that manufactures know how much power to expect and can design devices to run at that amount of power or less. That being said, USB can be anything above 499mA, I have seen a laptop put out 2000mA before even. So yes it is quite possible that your computer could put out over the 850mA of your charger. It probably won't say what its capable of delivering in your BIOS, if you really want to know you could try to find the specs for your computer/mobo/usb chipset. All that being said, you could always get a different USB wall adapter if you wanted to charge faster w/o a computer, just because it came with the one you currently use doesn't mean you have to use it (it is just a powered USB port after all).

Seems like your wall charger is defective, normally It takes about 1.5-2 hours for working wall charger to make the job done.
Standard PC USB port output is 5v==500mA, so it's strange that you can fully charge 1140 mAh battery just in 2 hours.

USB spec calls for 5V, 500mA max output (it's often less - reason is that it's 500mA per hub and in must configurations multiple ports share a single hub internally so multiple devices all plugged in at the same time will share the 500mA).
Your charger should charge in about half the time of your PC USB. Your wall charger must be defective.

Actually you got that backwards, its 500mA minimum. Check the docs if you do not believe me. And before you quote it, yes I do know that wiki says "A maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) can be drawn from a port in USB 2.0" that is because they are talking about the maximum that you are guarantied to receive as a USB device. You really need to read both sides of the documentation for this one, the USB protocol documentation for the computer side says it will provide 500mA minimum, and for the device side they say draw 500mA maximum. That way manufactures know that they can draw 500mA maximum to fully power the device because they are guaranteeing that they will be given at least that amount or more. Often times ports will actually put out more because manufactures are aware that devices charge over USB, and of course you can have ports that do deliver less because of some extenuating circumstance.
Granted that is all per port (and internal USB bus is not the same as a USB hub, they often provide full power per port), if you have a hub you are using it can be less, but you can not assume its a hub.
Long story short, if it has the USB sticker on it it puts out at least 500mA all the way up to whatever the manufactures prerogative was.
Wall charger charges much faster in my case. Just a little more than 1 hour.
The charging time is depend on the charging current. Wall charger is around 850-1000ma, usb is below 500ma (for some bad PC, it could be as low as 200ma). The capacity of the flipout battery could be 1130mah. 1130/1000 = 1.13 hour full charge time.
What is the voltage and amps on the charger that came with Epic? I've got a bunch of charges around that are usually around 5V and .5A.
Just trying to lighten the load when I travel. Noticed the nook color charger: 5V, 1.9 A, and Kindle Charger 4.9V, .85 Amps. The one I'm on now is a Samsung 5V, .7 Amps.
What is the effect of using different rated charging on the Epic. Would the .85 Amp charger charge faster? Or too fast and cause damage?
Just wondering....

USB operates at 5V, and any charger with a USB "type A" receptacle will output at 5V. Furthermore, it's safe to use the Epic with any USB-based charger.
Now, the problem is that the Epic will not draw more than 0.5 A from a USB port that isn't wired to the USB Battery Charging specification, so using a charger with a higher current rating will not charge faster if it doesn't meet that specification. Many chargers do, however, Apple uses an incompatible specification, so any iPhone/iPod-compatible, high current charger is of limited use on the Epic.
I've found that when you plug the Epic in, if the LED turns red and there's no "Select USB mode" menu, then the charger is properly compatible. If you do get a "Select USB mode" menu, then current draw is limited to 0.5 A and it will charge more slowly.

The Epic itself appears to max out around 0.7 A, so the 0.85 A charger is unlikely to charge appreciably faster than the Samsung OEM charger. Assuming it follows the USB Battery Charging spec, it shouldn't be any slower either.
akenis said:

The charge current is actually phone dependent--the phone itself will never draw too much current and cause damage to the phone. Furthermore, the USB Battery Charging spec requires that phones (and other USB devices) implement sensing circuity to avoid overloading a charger.
In short, one of the design goals of USB is that, if you can physically plug a device into a receptacle, then it should do something reasonble, if not optimal, and never cause damage.
Yeah I've used my 1A chargers from my old Hero and they don't seem to charge any faster, nor overheat the battery than any extra than the standard charger.
Charging off USB sucks though (from a computer) 500mA is noticably slower than 700mA. I wish there was an app or mod to allow it to draw 700mA from a computer's USB port. I know USB 3.0 is safely able to supply 900mA so I'm curious if the device is configured to allow this. (unfortunately I do not currently have any computer with USB 3.0 but it's still something I'm interested in)
My old HTC TouchPro had a mod to allow full speed (I guess 1A charging) from the 5V port on my laptop and desktop. It never hurt my usb controller on either of them and they still work fine to this day. I swear I heard that USB 2.0 can unofficially support 900mA as well, which explains why my ports never burnt out from my TouchPro's added load

No problems here using the 2A nook charger, 1A iphone charger or 700mA blackberry charger. As long as the charger is 700mA or better it'll fast charge. No such thing as too much amperage, the device will only draw what it needs. In the case of 500 mA, it'll slow charge. Any less than that and it's hit and miss, but probably won't charge at all.

If you have a device that only pulls .8 amps and you hook it up to a 2 amp charger....guess how many amps it is going to pull? You guessed .8 amps. Woohoo!
Kinda like how your circuit for your bedroom is a 20 amp circuit. Does you alarm clock pull 20 amps now?

I use the nook power brick with a standard microusb cable - like the stock epic one or a crackberry cable. The nook cable is different, but the USB port on the charger itself is standard.
And yes, the nook won't charge off of a PC. PC USB ports only deliver 500mA and the nook wants more.
Hi guys, anyone could recommend a good car charger for this HTC One. I am running an app called Autoguard which records my trip. I manually activate car mode and this app but I realised my current car charger is not able to charge the phone quick enough despite a 2A rating with BT and this app running. It drains about 10% on a half hour journey! I have also did a little mod on my USB cable to short pin 2 & 3 but don't seems to work. I also read about charging modes (AC or USB) which the latter charged slowing whereas AC gives the full charging potential. I confirmed my current charger charged in USB mode. Any thoughts?
Seems like nobody has this problem!
I personally use the Motorola Rapid rate charger from Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000S5Q9CA/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1367933488&sr=8-2&pi=SL75
It works for me and does a great job.. I've had it for quite some time. My Galaxy Nexus on Verizon while using LTE was using more output than input while I was charging with a no name charger before so I decided to give this a shot and it worked. It charged and the percentage went up instead of trickling slowly with the no name charger..
I used it now with my H1 and it charges pretty quickly

But what would make the difference between charging the One ore not while navigating?
I have a mini charger with an output of 1A, but still the phone in draining while navigating. Could this be the same issue as with the Galaxy S2, that it depends on the usb pin layout whether the phone charges with 500mA or 1A? And if so, isn't there a usb cable which already has the correct pin layout to charge to phone with 1A?

The One doesn't seem to change charging rates based on the USB pin layout-- I have several chargers and cables with shorted data cables and none of them seem to charge the device at higher than 500ma. It's definitely the phone itself that's not drawing more. I think that, either via software or hardware, the phone is checking the wattage available and if it is below 5Vdc/2A, it only draws 500ma. I just ordered a DC adapter that claims to be rated at 5Vdc/2A, and it should be delivered tomorrow.
Well in my car the charger is a 2.1A charger so that should not be the problem.
Not shure what the voltage output is.
I shortened the middle pins, but indeed, without succes.
Where did you order your charger? Can you let me know if it's working? If the phone sees it as a AC charger?

I have this one: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/hama-ipad-p...8284/?Referrer=ADVNLBES0020159005000010898284 (sorry it's in dutch). So it should be a 5V charger but still no effect...

If this one doesn't work, I'm just going to permanently mount a 150W inverter and start using AC adapters. All of the 2.1a adapters show as charging via AC, but it still tops out at 500ma.

I doubt if that will work. The output of the AC charger is only 1A and 5V, so there is something else why the phone thinks it's on an AC or USB charger. Still haven't found out what though
I just took apart an AC charger, and guess what, the two middle pins are shortened:
So what else tells the phone it's on an AC charger or USB charger???

I really think it's just down to output wattage, and nothing more. I have plenty of chargers with the middle pins shorted, and even though the phone says it's charging on AC, it only draws 500ma. That charger I linked my last post has been actually charging my phone while it's in use, pretty nearly 100% of the time. It does dip from time to time, but I've noticed that the AC adapter does too.
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I've seen some conflicting posts. Should I be getting a 2a car charger? I'm not sure what my current one is rated at as I haven't checked, but today in car mode and with bluetooth connected it was draining instead of charging and I'd like to fix that. I need a 2 usb port charger and I know most of those are not actually 2a per port, any suggestions? Is 2a what I need?
Thanks,
Tim

I've used this exact same charger for some time now w/o issue on several phone types. I bought it based off it's many positive reviews and it has lived up to it's reputation.
I got my HTC One car kit,by HTC,its just perfect ,its made just like htc one- awesome build quality .Brings on car mode automatically just by sliding in the One.:good:
When I plugged the S8+ into the MacBook 12's PD brick, it shows "cable charging". I thought the S8+ doesn't support PD. Today when I tried to use it with the rMBP USB-C PD brick, it activated Fast Charge. So the S8+ supports PD after all.
My USB-C 5V/3A portable battery and the Pixel XL / 6P bricks can't activate fast charge either.
If you know any other PD chargers that works with the S8/S8+, please share.

I can confirm that this Aukey USB C Car Charger with Power Delivery works. I got this for the wife's car for her Pixel, but my S8+ also comes up as fast charging when I connect it.
This reddit post implies that in addition to the QC 2.0 fast charging (and since QC3 and 4 are backwards compatible any QC charger will work) it can also negotiate 5V at 3A over USB-PD, however (non-PD) Type-C USB charging can provide 5V @ 3A so it's more likely it's using that rather than USB-PD per se (though for all intents and purposes the end result is the same with regards S8+ fast charging) as long as the charger provides it.
Ive read that qualcomm 2.0 os basically 3 amps. So in theory any charger that provides 3amp output should work as fast charge
Nice find, thanks for the heads up (and a shame I don't seem to be able to find this one in the UK).
Do bear in mind the phone will draw a maximum 15W (either 9V @ 1.67A over QC2 or 5V @ 3A over USB Type C) even if the charger can provide more.
I assure you that the Flux Charger would be the best portable charger for your S8/S8+. One of my friends uses it for charging on the go. Also it provides fast charging.
How does this differ than Anker QC3 , other than type C;

Yeah, for the S8/S8+ it make no difference in terms of charging:

Do bear in mind the phone will draw a maximum 15W (either 9V @ 1.67A over QC2 or 5V @ 3A over USB Type C) even if the charger can provide more.

The phone doesn't actually use USB-PD either, but can fast charge using USB Type C, but it's often USB-PD chargers that gives that. USB-PD is more future proof for other devices, but right now there's no need to change your existing QuickCharge chargers or powerbricks.

Ive read that qualcomm 2.0 os basically 3 amps. So in theory any charger that provides 3amp output should work as fast charge

Not exactly. With QC 2.0 the power supply can output 5, 9 or 12 volts, the phone will tell it what to output based on the battery level.. so if it's about completely dead it'll ask for 12 volts and as it gets closer to full back off to 5 volts. You need a power adapter that's compliant for that to work.
I received the Trianium charger over the weekend, it does fast charge off the USB-C port. One odd thing I've notice though is if I put my phone in my car mount while the charger has power, it goes into cable charge mode. Unplug and plug the other end back into the charger and it's in quick charge mode. Now if I put the phone in the mount before the charger gets power it works fine.
I recently got myself the AUKEY 27W Dual USB-C Port Car Charger. This is a USB Type C charger (and does not support USB Power Delivery) and with the built-in/attached USB-C cable it fast-charges my S8+ with the 5V at 3A that USB Type C allows for. The other port is a (non-USB-C and non-QuickCharge) USB charging port that can provide up to 2.4A.
Will this charger fast-charge Pixel 2 XL if I use it with a type-c to type-c cable ?

UPDATE: What about this one? https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
I doubt a 1A would
The amperage of the power source must equal or exceed that of the device. Our device is 9V/2A or 5V/3A. This charger is only 2A at 5V. Attempting to use it will cause the components to overheat. In quick fashion you'll burn out the charger at best, or cause a house fire at worst.

What about the one below:
https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
Also are Qualcomm 3.0 chargers safe to use?
That one provides 3 amps at both 5 and 9 volts. The P2XL only requires 2A at 9V, therefore that charger will safely quick charge the P2XL.
The brand of charger is irrelevant here. The only two things that matter on a charger are the voltage and the amperage. I've already covered the requirements for amperage in post 3 above. The requirements for the voltage are that the voltage of the power source must equal the voltage of the device itself. Unlike the amperage, if the voltage does not match your device will end up permanently damaged.

You are referring to this? >> https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
Im currently using the one below and it charges slow as hell...is it even safe to use?
http://www.plugintec.com/surge-qc/
Also this one seems to fulfill the requirements you stated but its usb-a to usb-c instead of usb-c to usb-c. does that matter?
https://www.ishopping.pk/huawei-quick-charger-2a-with-micro-usb-cable.html
Also the one below does 5.0V/2.5A 9V/2A 12V/1.5A....will that work?

Yep.
The plugintec device I wouldn't trust, though it apparently is capable of matching the voltage as well as match the amperage. The fact it has variable voltages is not something I've encountered. I would take a multimeter to the USB port on the charger and see what the voltage actually is, as it may not be correct for the P2XL.
The Huawei charger only outputs 2A at 5V, meaning you'd burn it up. The Xiaomi charger only outputs 2.5A at 5V, meaning you would burn it up, although that one would take longer to wear out. What I am not understanding here is why you do not simply get the actual charger. On Amazon they have it for about 20 USD (2,477.92 PKR) and I'm fairly certain they ship worldwide. The only thing you may need would be a plug adapter, if Pakistan doesn't use US standard blade plugs.

I would love to get an original one from amazon but the problem is the cost of shipping. If I could get it for 20 USD with free shipping I would go for it in a heartbeat.
I would find a way to do it anyway. It's the only foolproof means of ensuring nothing goes wrong with the device you spent a lot of money on.
using this now to charge my phone. no problem with fast charging.

I don't think it's only about the volts and amps. QC 3 might have some same profiles as USB PD but USB PD devices can't negotiate the profiles with QC protocol charger's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
USB PD is only available on USB-C chargers that support the USB PD protocol.
For the pixel 2xl you need a USB-C PD charger that can do 5V/3A and 9V/2A for rapid charge.

I think you're right about that. I'm only concentrating on volts and amps for safety reasons.
Hello guys, may I know what is max wattage your pixel 2 xls are giving? I believe it's locked at 18W. But due some reason my phone charges blazing fast n shows 27W. I use custom ROM n aukey charger.

It was originally only 10.5W when the first first came out:

But I think that's changed with updates but I never read any official confirmation of it.
